    It is a great portable hard drive. 5TB of capacity. Quick. It is just super handy for all the files I seem to be moving around constantly.

    I'm using this on my Mac Pro. It works ok, but then it will randomly disappear from my desktop. I therefore need to run disk first aid to get it back to mount. If it keeps working sporadically like this, I'll probably return it.

    I have used Seagate portable external hard drives for years. They are sturdy, dependable and hold a lot of videos. I only wish this size (5TB) came in red!
